Product Overview

This risk assessment covers planning, formwork, concrete placing, lifting, panel erection and associated site activities for precast tilt-up and structural concrete work. It supports structured planning and risk management for instability, falls, lifting, plant, services, weather and emergency hazards.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

  • Plan the work sequence, design review and site set-up
  • Set up and access formwork, falsework and decks
  • Handle reinforcement, embeds and cast-in items
  • Manage concrete delivery, pumping and placing
  • Work near overhead powerlines and underground services
  • Lift tilt-up panels and precast elements by crane
  • Erect, brace and stabilise panels
  • Manage work at height and leading edges
  • Coordinate traffic, mobile plant and material movement
  • Manage weather, curing, housekeeping and emergency readiness

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out precast tilt-up and structural concrete activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity Potential Hazards
Planning, design review and site set-up
  • Unplanned panel erection sequence or concrete pour sequence causing instability
  • Inadequate formwork, falsework or temporary bracing design
  • Poor ground bearing capacity for cranes, pumps or loaded decks
  • Unauthorised access by workers, visitors or the public
  • Interface with adjacent structures, roads or occupied areas
Formwork, falsework and deck access
  • Collapse of formwork or falsework
  • Falls from edges, penetrations or incomplete decks
  • Persons struck by falling materials or tools
  • Failure of supports due to poor foundations or overloading
  • Unsafe access between levels
Reinforcement, embeds and cast-in items
  • Cuts, punctures and impalement from reo and starter bars
  • Manual handling strains from steel, shutters and cast-in items
  • Trips on protrusions, tie wire, hoses and stored materials
  • Incorrect placement of lifting inserts, braces or cast-in anchors leading to failure during erection
Concrete delivery, pumping and placing
  • Pump, hose, clamp or pipeline failure releasing pressurised concrete
  • Struck-by risk from line whip, moving boom or delivery vehicles
  • Pump or boom instability from poor set-up or ground failure
  • Workers hit by splatter, burst lines or moving plant
  • Blocked lines and hazardous cleaning or restart activities
Overhead powerlines and underground services
  • Electric shock or arc from crane, boom, pipeline or loads contacting powerlines
  • Service strike during anchor installation, brace fixing or plant movement
  • Fire, explosion or loss of essential services
  • Restricted movement causing sudden plant contact or collision
Crane lifting of tilt-up panels and precast elements
  • Dropped load from lifting gear, insert or clutch failure
  • Crane overturning from overload, wind or ground failure
  • Workers struck by suspended panels or rotating loads
  • Collision with structures, braces, other panels or plant
  • Failure of lifting points due to incorrect component selection or insufficient concrete strength
Panel erection, bracing and temporary stability
  • Panel collapse before final restraint is in place
  • Brace failure, anchor pull-out or slab failure
  • Progressive collapse affecting adjacent panels or structures
  • Workers struck during plumbing, aligning or releasing the load
  • Wind loading on newly erected panels
Work at height and leading edges
  • Falls from slabs, decks, panel tops, stairs or openings
  • Falling objects onto workers below
  • Unstable ladder use or overreaching
  • Poor footing on wet, uneven or cluttered surfaces
Traffic, mobile plant and material movement
  • Workers hit by reversing trucks, telehandlers, cranes or EWPs
  • Collision between delivery vehicles, pumps and site plant
  • Pedestrians entering blind spots or exclusion zones
  • Uncontrolled movement on sloping, soft or congested ground
Weather, curing, housekeeping and emergency readiness
  • High winds affecting panels, booms, braces and work at height
  • Heat, UV exposure, dehydration and fatigue
  • Wet slurry, curing compounds and waste causing slips or skin contact
  • Delayed response to crush injury, collapse, electrical incident or concrete burns
